James 'I love you so' Potter and Regulus 'Please let me go' Black
When I'm in an 'underrated, had great potential but was doomed by a misogynistic and racist writer' competition and my opponent is Talia Al Ghul
'Stephanie Brown was the Robin, Batman deserved but didn't need'
I do stand by the notion. Unlike Jason, Tim and Damian, she WANTED to be Robin, it wasn't handed to her, for Damian it was basically his birth right.
Her relationship with Batman is just really complex. What he did to her was wrong, but you should punch yourself if you think he doesn't care about his Robins, CAUSE HE DOES, HE'LL DIE FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. No, he isn't her father and she isn't his daughter.
Stephanie was the Robin Batman needed because she was his reflection in many ways. Her stubbornness matched his, her sense of justice reminds me of Batman, her anger towards criminals and her sympathy towards victims all represent what the Batman Mantle stands for. However, she is her own character.
Stephanie Brown is a mirror but she is herself. Her stubbornness that of Bruce, she's hardworking just like Cassandra, her strong sense of justice matches that of Jason Todd and her energy to make everyone around her comfortable matches that of Dick Grayson.
What makes Stephanie herself is her flaws. Her stubbornness, anger, people pleasing-ness, her such strong sense of justice, how she loves so hard that it ruins her but it still doesn't stop her from loving, her emotional behavior but that's what Stephanie is!!
She does a golden retriever energy and I do believe that, she's my comfort character <3 and I think that aura contrasts that of Batman. I'm not justifying Bruce for what he did and her death could have been avoided but she was meant to be a vigilante. In another universe where she gets the Batman Mantle, I will assure you that she would be the Batman, Bruce couldn't be.
I am so sick and tired of people revolving her character around being a golden retriever or a love interest of Tim Drake and/or Cassendra Cain!
In short,
Stephanie Brown was the Robin Batman deserved was because she was his own reflection, no one could've made him see his flaws that way she could have because she's his flaws personified (this isn't an insult), sure he didn't need her, but the timeline of Stephanie being Robin is very special to me. I know what he did was wrong, but I do know her death was something that had a major effect on him because he failed another child, another Robin, another person who looked upto him. I do believe that Bruce cared, but that care didn't overshadow his harshness on her. I do believe Bruce regretted how he behaved when she was Robin, and I do believe he went to her grave every week to give flowers not out of guilt but out of care.
Should Stephanie Brown forgive him? No. However, will she? Yes. Stephanie Brown is nothing if not someone who believes in second chances.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I'm NOT normal about Stephanie Brown :D

Thinking about Talia al Ghul and how her loneliness, loyalty and love were the reason for all her 'bad' doings :(
Her loneliness gave Nyssa an advantage to manipulate her :( [Nyssa is a very well written character despite that, she's a victim too :(]
Her loyalty towards her father and the LOA :( [Although the LOA is an organization, not a cult.]
Her love was the reason she gave up Damian/faked a miscarriage, followed her father's orders, sacrificed her own happiness for others on multiple occasions :(
And you're trying to convince me she's a rapist who's a villain? Nuh-uh, go pick up an accurate comic book about her which wasn't by a misogynistic and racist writer (Grant Morrison you-).
If only we could get a solo comic only about Talia and her childhood life, and life before she met Bruce.・゜゜・
